DVB-T transmissions have already started in some countries (UK, Australia, Germany, Finland, Italy). France would start [[Free To Air]] DVB-T broadcast in March 2005 (in [[MPEG2]]) and [[Pay Per View]] broadcast in September 2005 (in [[MPEG4]]).

Depending on the Transmission Mode about 15MBit can get transmitted per [[Transponder]] (Frequency). This is enough for one [[HDTV]] channel or 4-5 Standard Definition TV channels. Multiple channels can be organized in Bouquets (a bunch of services by a particular Service Provider).

*Crazy as it may sound, if you find that video and audio sometimes freeze (and there are no error messages in /var/log/messages), your aerial signal may be too weak. A signal booster made a significant difference in my setup (Hauppauge Nova-T (Conexant) + Avermedia 771 DVB-T, 2.6.13-rc7 + dvb kernel patches from CVS)
